Sue E. Skees
Sue E. Skees, 83, of Sun City Center, Florida, joined the Lord on May 6, 2026. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, she spent many years in Kentucky before making Florida her home. Sue carried a still, quiet and confident spirit—one that reflected the love of Jesus in the way she lived. She was kind, caring and thoughtful, and she filled every space with life, laughter and love.
Sue found joy in simple, beautiful moments: watching a sunrise, listening to ocean waves, walking the beach, bird watching and working on her cross stitch projects. She drove a school bus for special needs children, a role that meant the world to her and allowed her to pour her heart into the lives of those she served. She also loved traveling to visit family and friends, always cherishing time spent together. She will be remembered for her warm hugs and her gift for making every moment with loved ones meaningful.
Sue was preceded in death by her husband, Anthony J. Skees; her parents, Elmer and Orabelle Meier; her brother, Dale Meier; her stepsons, Timothy J. Skees and Stephen T. Skees; and her stepson in law, Lynn Milnes.
She is survived by her brother, Jack (Marilyn) Meier, of Cleveland, OH; her daughters, Deanne (Ahmet) Gultekin, of Sun City Center, FL, and Denise (Brian) Moyer, of Goochland, VA; and her grandchildren, Caleb and Grace Moyer. She is also survived by her stepchildren, Regina “Jeannie” Milnes, of Paducah, KY; Jack (Dawn) Skees, of Elizabethtown, KY; Karen Savko (Bob), of Louisville, KY; Ellen O’Brien (Danny), of Elizabethtown, KY; and Susan Skees Hermes, of Boulder City, NV. Additionally, she leaves behind 14 step-grandchildren and 25 step-great-grandchildren.
Sue will be laid to rest in the St. James Church Cemetary in Elizabethtown, KY.
